This repository contains code for an R Shiny application that accesses crime data through an API and displays it on a Leaflet map.
The live application can be viewed on Shinyapps.io.
There were a couple crimes posted to the API with bad coordinates (like in the southern hemisphere bad) and that was causing problems with how I chose a starting point and with how the heatmap worked. So I added filters to screen out points that are far outside the borders of Montgomery County and set the map view to always be the center of the county.
Montgomery County changed the format of the data passed through the API which broke the application for a bit. I have updated the code to compensate for this. They also changed the coding scheme for crimes. Finally, I added the "firefly" map option which displays brightly colored points of crime on a black Leaflet map.
